To better cradle the infant a small, one-story schoolhouse was erected in the south east section of Burt, where Bill Garmans now live. This small building was soon over- crowded, and the Burt Select School was established in the winter of 1890-91, to accommo- date the advanced grades. These classes were held in a second story room of the hardware and lumber office of J. D. McDonald. In March, 1892, the Burt Independent School District was organized with John Kerr, George Marble, and William Cork serving as the first board members. In the same year, on the present school grounds, a wooden schoolhouse was erected which accommodated all the grades. The first buildings were abandoned to be used for various business purposes. This new building was used until 1910 when a brick building was constructed. The wooden structure was divided, moved east of the school and was remodeled for dwellings. In 1936 an addition was built which afforded four new, roomy classrooms, and a splendid gymnasium-auditorium combination with a large stage to make possible more extensive athletic and dramatic programs. In the spring of 1937 fire destroyed the inside of the original brick building, and great loss was suffered. However, the damage was repaired in time for school to open on schedule in the fall. In 1948-’49 another addition was made---a building, erected east of the first addition, and housing the home economics and manual arts departments, and the two busses. In recent years a highly popular hot lunch program was established which serves approximately 120 pupils daily. The kitchen is in the ticket office room, and until January, 1949 the lunch was served in the adjacent gym. Now the old home economics room is being utilized as a dining room. In 1947 school bus routes were established in the surrounding farm territory to give transportation to students of all grades. Miss Mary Dalton and G. N. Patterson were among the very first teachers of Burt, but the first superintendent, A.A. Seifert, came in 1892. The others were: Hugh Conner, 1893- ’94-'95; Frank Van Erdwyk, 1896-’97; C. A. Johnson, 1898; M. E. Lumbar, 1899-1900; L.A. Glassburn, 1901-’02; A. S. Murry, 1903-'04-'05; M. E. Lumbar. 1906; G. E. Osmundson, 1907; C. W. Mangun and F. J. Conley, 1908; R. S. Grossman, 1909; P. D. Cowan, 1910-’ll; J. R. Lang, 1912; L. O’Conner, 1913-’14; F. R. Ketchum, 1915-’16; B. C. Brown, 1917; A. J. Draper, 1918- ’ 19; L. C. Gardner. 1920--'24; F. Peters, 1925--’26; Donald Weir, 1927---'34; Condit Bowie, 1935----’40; W. B. Officer, 1941.....'49. Since the first class graduated in June, 1895, there have been 50 graduating classes, and approximately 730 graduates. HATS OFF TO THE PAST! COATS OFF TO THE FUTURE! 11
